      As AI continues to revolutionize football and many other industries, it raises critical questions about the balance between human intuition and machine precision.

      Technology is having increased control over the sport; for example, VAR is already f*cking up the flow of the game and sparking constant debates. How do we ensure that technology enhances rather than replaces the human aspects of football?

      Can we trust algorithms to make decisions that affect our futures? What safeguards should be in place to preserve the human element in sports, and how might this shift impact our overall experience as fans and participants?

      From my experience (of multi decades football fan), “data” in football has overall decreased the level and quality of football.

      There has been a big uproar among football fans about how data in training, scouting, tactics, etc, has uniformized and athletized that sport to the extreme: you only have players that are very fast and strong but very weak technically (players like Dembélé or Coman come to mind, able to cross the pitch in a few seconds but unable to align a shot or make a center).

      The excessive concentration on physical strenght has made players into little tanks with an unbalanced gravity point and less agility.

      Worse, the amount of wounds has increased, recently, player Rodri protested (with great support of many players) about the increase of games… just before suffering a terrible injury on the next game at the ligaments, one of the worst injuries in football.

      This comes from the immensely intense athletism of contemporary football. Bodies aren’t able to handle as many games as before, even with intense training.

      Careers are shortening, Varane, 2018 world champion, just went to retirement at the age of… 31. Inconceivable two decades ago. Other names come to mind: Eden Hazard, Neymar, Verratti…

      Some people thought that tech in football would solve everything (VAR is a terrible example), but it just uniformized the game.

      There is a big aesthetic part in football (the fans know). It became quite ugly, just guys running left and right, back and forth, without construction, only counter attacks… The last Champions League was an eye sore to watch.

      In the case of football, data has made the game uglier, more boring, stupider.

      Just my “football fan since childhood” two cents.
